History

Atlanta, GA
So why create a blog? Well, those close to me know how passionate I am about my food...eating food, to be more precise. 15 years ago I discovered the joy of dining in restaurants which boast a unique ambiance and delicious food. I first started tracking lists of great restaurants when I lived in Columbus, OH in the mid 90's. I was fortunate to dine at Cameron Mitchell's, Fifty-Five, Bravo, Rigsby's, Barcelona, and many more. I read in local newspapers about the best Places to be Seen, to Celebrate, to Impress, etc. and formulated my "to try" list. This hobby continued in Birmingham, AL and again when my travels brought me to Atlanta, GA ten years ago. I started a Supper Club with close friends in 2000, trying a new restaurant every Thursday night. We had one simple rule in the club, “no chain restaurants”! After three years of stomping through Atlanta's best and worst restaurants, we realized that this weekly tradition was becoming too expensive to maintain (go figure!). However, in 2005 I started making notes of my dining experiences for personal reference. To make it easy for my friends to get my recommendations, I thought I would try blogging. So...here goes!

Friday night dinner with Chris, Julie, Aubrey & Greg

Ambiance: 5
Opened in 1992, this family-operated eclectic restaurant is one of our regular neighborhood spots. It has a loyal following, as evidenced by its clientele. We've found that there's something familiar that keeps us coming back as well!

Food Quality: 7
We had the steak kabob, chicken fried steak, luchen kugel & banana pudding. Chris & Julie loved it!!!

The food isn't the healthiest, especially since many dishes are typical southern meals, but it's pretty darn good.

Service: 7
We usually have good service here. We enjoyed the owner, Bruce, stopping by our table and sharing some of the family & restaurant history. It's surprising how steady their business is. They draw an older early crowd or empty-nesters between 5-6:30p. By 7:30 - 8p, you'll find more families.

Value: 5
Prices are a little more than I would expect for a "regular local spot", but I do like their weekly customer specials which makes it more affordable. If you sign up with them, you'll receive an email each week which will include a discount on their weekly special.
